I've got the Pedders GVM upgrade on mine, a 2013 Dual Cab SR5.
I have had it registered in three States now and can say that the ease of registration is one of the big bonuses; not sure why Lovells have an issue with that as it is meant to be a national standard I thought. My only issue was moving from the NT to Tasmania as the NT provide a certificate rather than a plate. But when I got to Tassie I just had to show my paperwork and the engineering report from Pedders and it was all good.
I really like the ride of the GVM upgrade (Mine is 300kg lower than yours), especially when I am fully loaded for touring. I've done some pretty rough tracks around the country without an issue (about 50k km now I think). One thing is to make sure you have a constant load as when it is unloaded it is a little bit scary in the wet.
Also because it is National you can go and the upgrade rechecked and tightened for cheap in every State, very handy when you are touring about and you want a safety check done.
I would have preferred the Lovells because it provided more capacity on the front axle (Not sure if this is the same for your model), but the dealers talked me out of it (Not sure why, its one of the best mods I have done).
